If you purchase a truck mid-year, submit Form 2290 promptly. The IRS mandates this for each heavy vehicle subject to taxation. A valid HVUT payment must reflect the First Used Month. This rule applies regardless of when during the year the acquisition occurs.
This is when prorated 2290 submission starts to matter. Using Simple Truck Tax makes mid-year paperwork simpler, quicker - also less stressful. This covers what drivers must understand.
If a vehicle starts being used anytime except July, the IRS doesn't apply the complete yearly HVUT fee. They figure out a partial tax using the months left in the tax period.
You need to submit Form 2290 for your new truck prior to registration - this helps prevent holdups at the DMV while ensuring legal use. Since timely filing supports compliance, it’s best done right after purchase instead of waiting.
The IRS applies HVUT solely for months when your vehicle is actively operated within the fiscal cycle running from July 1 through June 30.
If you buy a car in January, HVUT applies from January to June.
Your FUM refers to the month you started using the vehicle on public roads. It marks when the operation began under your name.
This date sets:
The due date to submit runs through the end of the month after your initial use.
Example:
If your truck starts operating in March, submit Form 2290 no later than April 30. Missing this date may trigger IRS fines, added fees, or problems when registering your vehicle.
State DMVs need a current Schedule 1 to confirm HVUT fees are paid prior to registering your new vehicle.
Without this, there’s a chance of encountering:

The assistance provided was beyond expectations. This was my first time doing it, and their support stayed with me until everything was completed. It took me longer because I was multitasking and they waited whileI was getting other things done. Thank you! The best service I have ever received from any phone support.

I have been using Simple Truck Tax for six years now to file our yearly 2290. It is simple to use, and they file it quickly. I have a login, and it is easy to add and remove trucks. They remember my information, so I don't have to upload it again the following year. I definitely recommend their 2290 service.
